Anthropic CPO leaves Figma’s board after reports he will offer a competing product

# Anthropic Executive Leaves Figma Board Ahead of Competing Product Anthropic, a major AI company, is planning to build design tools that would compete directly with Figma, so its chief product officer just stepped down from Figma's board to avoid a conflict of interest. This move highlights a growing concern among investors that large AI companies will use their technology to dominate and eventually replace specialized software tools that companies currently pay for separately. The trend could reshape the software industry as we know it, potentially affecting which tools your company relies on.
